Mid Atlantic Bullet makes that same one. I like that that small crimp groove. I actually prefer it. I've used it in .357 and never had them work loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

12.5 is what I load. that's where the sweet spot for my 686 is. I've gone higher but always come back to that one. I use a Lee 158 I cast & coat with hi tek. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

For non magnum loads I use 5.7 grains of universal. With a 158 grain bullet. Shoots great and very accurate.

5.7 grains of universal with a 158 cast bullet works well for me. Good accuracy out of my 686.

Like said castbullets has a whole page devoted to alternatives. I tried it now that all I use. Clean dies and your gun isn't all gummed up. I have good results with Harbor freight powder I really haven't had anyneed to look any further. And for 399 a pound you really can't beat it.

These were seated at 1.12 4.1 grains of hp 38 primers look fine.

I crimped a bit more and they are a lot better now. I'm at .374 on the crimp what are you crimping lead at? No agree load long as possible.

I purchased a M&P 9 mm that i am starting to load for . I cast a few hundered lee 125 grain round nose bullets. my question is lees min oal 1.12 that seems too long. at 1.12 they will chamber and feed ok but a little shorter would be better. i was wondering if anyone eles loads this same bullet...

2400 is a great magnum handgun powder for 357. I cast a lee 158 grain tl bullet I load with 5.8 grains of universal no leading very accurate. No where near real magnum but fun to shoot.

I like it for rifle. But would never use it on my pistol rounds.

Powder coating has it's lovers and haters. I do it and like it started with the piglet method now just a dry shake and bake. Works can argue with that, Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nice job Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm using them in 45 not for the leading issues. But there is no smoke from burning bullet lube . They work great I cast and tumble coat them 500 at a time. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I never find 231 around me but always find hp 38. My hp is a grey flake almost silver not black strange Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Pm your address and I'll send you one. I don't use it. I've tried it but I get more consistent drops with the discs. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I've been loading 5.7 of universal with a 158 grain bullet and it shoots well. It was a lot more fun to shoot than I thought it would be and accurate. I bought it for 45 auto didn't like it so glad I found a use for it.

I use the discs and get good results. I fill the measure let it sit for a bit to settle the powder. But yes I always check with a scale. Universal was the only that seemed off from the corresponding disc # for me. In the back of lees book there is a chart for the conversions

Not being a jerk but please read some manuals and get a better idea what you are doing. You sound very new to reloading take your time.

I like universal for 38. I bought 4 lbs for 45 auto but use it more for 38 and non magnum 357s. I've been shooting 5.7 grains of universal with 158 grain bullet in a 357 case a little more fun than 38 and very accurate.

Wax for the smelt and sawdust for the pot works for me.
